We read q great deal of expansive twaddle
about the excitement of the stag hunting on
Exmoor, but there seems to be much that is
altogether brutal. barbarous and disgusting
about this sport. There is something most
horrible in the practice of Selling the deer at
the end of the run and publicly cutting its
throat How a mob Of educated men and
women can look complaeently on at such
horrid butchery it is difficult to understand.
An account OF IA recent run gives a harrow
ing picture of terrified stag finding itself
dead heat" at the end of long and agoniz-
ing chase Il was hemmed in on every side
by its pursuers, so, after Choking wildly
round it could only dash down the cliff and
plunge into the sea, where it was drowned in
sight of the excited field, as it was too ex-
hausted to hattie with the waves At the he
ginning of another run two stays were hunt
ed out Of the glade in which they had con
cealed themselves, aud one was so hustled
about that its back was broken - London

sr,nue,l on Newspaper Men.

Probably no man in the United States
has had more to do with newspaper men
the past two years than retiring States
Attorney Grinnell of Chicago, who has
been interviewed almost daily about
anarchists and boodlers This is what he

is for your private information and must

Newspaper men keep their promises
better than a good many other people.
Moreover, | have found newspaper men
courteous and gentlemanly, even calling
me out of my bed at l o'clock in the
morning in such polite fashion as to
render complaint impossible. Again. |
have found newspaper reporters quite as
shrewd as detectives, and to >dtwit the
gentlemen of the press has caused me
quite as much trouble as TO evsde the de-
tectives which the opposition sometimes
set to watch me. particularly when they
wanted to discover the names of wit
nesses was talking with. have had
some very amusing experiences with de-
tectiyes and newspaper men.
Il only wish to add" said Mr. Grinnell
in conclusion. that have found the in
hueuce of the public press an invaluable
assistant to the public prosecutor. The
press, more than any other agency, has
helped to cultivate that healthful public
sentiment which is of such value to the
public officer. In rare. isolated cases the
newspapers by premature publication,
retard the ends, of justice, but the pre-
ponderance of influence is so great in the
other direction that my experience has
taught me to look upon the newspaper
| press as the greatest of all auxiliaries il

A CITY coURTSHlP.

The proper place for counting,
BY the story books reporting,
Is some lane or meadow pathway, out OF sight or
town,
With the sweetness blowing over
From the fields of beans and clover.
And the skylarS dropping westward as the sun
goes down.
But I've met my little Sally
At the mouth of Dawson's alley.
As we walked along together towards the dome
of ST. Pauls,
Mid the ioStling crowd that passes
Meath the glaring lamps and gases
And the shouting of the drivers and tho news.
boys calls.
Aud tho lily of the valley
That gave my little Sally,
Was The faded penny bouquet that flower girl
sells;
She has never seen one growing,
And it's easy to be showing,
For its birthplace is in Dreamland that's beyond
Bow Bells
Oh it pains me ia our walking
All the oatbs and shameful talking,
And the folks that brush her passing, and the
glances bold:
But though evil things may touch her,
They can never hurt or smutch her.
For she turns the dirt to sweetness, as flower
the mold.
Nay, it's not in country places,
Mid the fields and simple faces,
Out of sight and sound of evil, that pure heart
grows;
But Us here i'm London city,
In the sin, and shame, and pity
For the pure heart draws its pureness from the
wrong it knows.
When my Sally's sweetness found me,
was like the men around me,
l was coarse. and low, and selfish, as the beast
that dies;
But her grace began TO win me,
And my heart was changed within me.
And learned to pray from gazing in my darling s
eyes

it, and declared it worse than the Prussia,

Macklin paused, looked ut the refrac.
tory actor aud quietly said: Suppose
we all go and sit down little in tn,
green room" He walked i'm and tbs
actors followed; he sat down, and they
seated themselves; he then took out his
watch, looked at it and laid it on the
table. "Now," said he, "we'l just ST!
here one hour" The performers &C.
guessed, but kept rather All awful silence
At the expiration of the hour Macklin

A Journalists Nervousness.

Tt Is q question upon which artists dis
agree, this question of nervousness.
Great actors have told me they are al
ways nervous for several minutes after
their parts begin OIL the stage, and paint
crs say the same. They finish picture
and tremble for its reception. Pro.
fessiUnal men are nervous. Doctors have
told Inc they go to case in awful mental
terror. Lawyers suffer during criminal
trials. Ministers endure agonics in the
pulpit until they are fairly launched I'm a
discourse, as do other orators, and Of
writers, novelists and poets it is pro-
verbal TINT they are depressed and
wretched rs the ink dries on their paper.
Journalists are equally 80, I find. For
myself ] frankly admit that put my
manuscript in its envelope with not alone
trembling fingers, but with faintness at
heart and voiceless petition that the
good fates presiding over the quill and
paper may speed the white missive on its
way, and that some little thought or word
of mine may find Judgment I'm even ono
responsive heart. Then ! rush out and
about, bestirring myself In other VEGA
tions to shake off my misgivings. So I
say, happy the man or woman who Is in
sensible to these tortures of "stage
fright" on whatever stage I'm life,
